The BF game was scrypted ... The guys on PC's we're just playing videos ffs ...I have played a sh1tload of hours in bf3 , and I have never seen such an incompetent gunner in a helicopter like in that video ... those guys shouldnt've even made it in the building , much less have the time to destroy the heli with the RPG ....

The console is so cheap because there is no camera included. Xbox are pushing the kinect experience and making it as part of the console while sony is separating from that. they first said the ps4 was a package with camera but now they are changing strategy to sell a cheaper product.

Imo, they should offer a second SKU at $429-449 with the camera, seeing as it's sold separately at $59

Only games that really wowed me were new Metal Gear Solid and The Division, those are not exclusive. I think that XBOX slightly edged it with their gaming content shown, but none of the exclusives justify the crap that comes with it for me. Sony have my money at this point.

So Yoshida announced "20 games in the first year and 12 are new IP", compared to Microsoft's "15 games in the first year and 8 are new IP".

Microsoft showed a lot of them during their conference, Sony however didn't. What I found interesting is most first party stuff Sony showed is either launch or launch window. For Microsoft I can only think of Forza at the moment. This could probably mean that Microsoft showed the majority of their games already and Sony is saving a lot of them for gamescom to secure their lead in Europe and TGS for Japan.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is delaying its Xbox One launch in Asia until late 2014, a full year after the console debuts in the US.

Alan Bowman, Microsoft’s regional vice president for sales and marketing in Asia, says the move is part of a "staged approach" for the Xbox One, noting the company is planning to offer localised content once the console is available. The WSJ claims Microsoft is only planning to offer the Xbox One in select Asian markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and India. Notably, Japan is missing from that list, a market that the Xbox 360 has struggled in traditionally

They struggle to impose their play early on with the initial conference about the PS4 and were roundly on the back foot. However, they held out and took the pressure without ever breaking, then when Microsoft got caught upfield, disorganizing themselves in their attempt to exploit the apparent weakness of Sony, who then proceeded to tear them apart a'la Netherlands in the Euro08 group stages against Italy and France.

Spoiler:

I am aware of the Clockwork joke going on here, but felt the need to remind Arq of the Euro08 group stages anyway.

Are you referring to exclusives? Because exclusives will always be there for either console.

Microsoft promised games (15 exclusives) and I'm sure you are as excited as I am for project spark... but how many of those exclusives seem even note worthy? Sunset Overdrive or w/e looked intriguing...but then again so did "The Order"

The games are just a plus, I mainly wanted to see a console and know a price, as well as see Sony shoot down any unfavorable rumors. We got all that.
